Nauticam's NA-LX100II underwater housing for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 II offers the knowledgeable photographer access to the advanced capabilities of the LX100 II camera. This compact camera packs a significant amount of functionality and capability into it's small size, including 4K video at up to 30fps. Nauticam's NA-LX100II housing allows easy to access of controls to all essential functions of the camera and can be customized to meet the user's needs. Like all of Nauticams' housings for compact fixed-lens cameras, the NA-LX100II is supported by Nauticam underwater corrective optics which can enhance the photographer's underwater system.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 II

The LX100II features a big sensor improvement over its predecessor giving its multi-aspect ratio sensor a resolution increase from 12.8 to 17MP. The LX100II can also capture 4K video at up to 30fps with a crop factor of 1.34x. The updated buffer accommodates up to 33 RAW images at a fast 11fps (5.5fps with continuous autofocus), ideal for fast action continuous light shooting. When using the 4K photo burst mode the camera captures 8MP still images at up to 30fps which can be adjusted with post processing to either change the focal point or stacked to create deeper focus images.

Nauticam NA-LX100 II

The NA-LX100II features Nauticam's N50 Port System. The housing ships with the N50 Standard Port that allows for full zoom-through capabilities as well as the possibility for attachment of the optional M67 Flip Mount which accepts either the CMC-1 or CMC-2 Compact Macro Converters. With the addition of these corrective optics the NA-LX100II gains the ability to capture true macro images with up to 4.5x magnification for the CMC-1 and 2.8x magnification for the CMC-2.

The Standard Port can be changed in seconds without tools with the optional N50 Short Port with Bayonet Mount that supports the use of either the CMC-1/2 mentioned above with their optional Bayonet Mounts or the WWL-1 Wet Wide Lens wide angle corrective optic with Bayonet Mount. At a 28mm equivalent focal length, the WWL-1 provides an ultra-wide and ultra-sharp 130º field-of-view.

The NA-LX100II housing provides direct access to the camera's dedicated record button with a conveniently located red button near the upper right corner of the rear of the housing. The LX-100II can capture UHD 4K video at upt to 30fps but does so with a 1.34x crop. When using the WWL-1 for still images, it is necessary to zoom in to a 28mm equivalent focal length from the camera's maximum of 24mm, however when shooting video the camera can be left at its widest 24mm setting to mitigate some of the lost field-of-view due to the inherent crop factor of the camera.

Easitray and Flexitray System Compatibility

The NA-LX100II provides a compact platform yet can be expanded to accommodate either the Nauticam Easitray or Flexitray systems. The Easi and Flexitray systems provide single or dual handles featuring standard 1" ball mounts for the mounting of lighting or other accessories. The NA-LX100II ships with stainless steel stiffening brackets and shutter release extension for use with these handle systems.

Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System

The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is standard equipment ad when combined with an optional vacuum valve, this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe to dive status of the housing.
